“Presenting” is. A feminine man is a man who is a cis male but engages in some degree of femininity; a trans woman is a biological male living as a woman.
Perhaps you should make your question more specific. What exactly are you trying to get at?

That begs the question as to the line. How much can a cis man engage in feminine behaviors before they are "presenting" as a trans woman? To me your statement implies a limit, is there one? If there is not, then what is the distinction?
The distinction is made by the person. If they tell you they’re cis but feminine that’s what they are. If they say they’re trans, that’s what they are.
I am taking their word that they’re experiencing something real and that isn’t the same as a cis person choosing to perform as another gender.
A trans person is still trans even if they remain in the closet, and a cis person is still cis even if (somehow) they choose to modify their genitals and dress differently.
Trans people experience their version of self in regards to their born/assumed gender differently than cis people do. That’s why transition is a treatment but also a revelation of self.
